Poker tables are a winner for one local business
Like the outfitters that sometimes made the best money selling mules and shovels to gold-rush prospectors, Eric Nordstrom is betting that he can make a profit from poker tables, rather than the game.

Poker lingo:
- FILL - To draw a card that makes a five-card hand (straight, flush, full house, straight flush).
- SHOWDOWN - The point at the end of the hand where all active players reveal their cards and the pot is awarded to the winner(s).
- DEAD MAN'S HAND - Generically: two pair, aces and eights. Specifically: the black aces, black eights and nine of diamonds. The hand Wild Bill Hickok was holding when he was shot to death.
- SMALL BLIND - In games with two blinds the first blind is the SMALL BLIND because it is usually one-half (or less) the second or large blind.
- LATE POSITION - For a particular betting round, a player who does not have to act until most of the other players have acted.
- MILES OF BAD ROAD - Three of a kind. Prefixed with a number, 3*<N>, to indicate 3 <N>s. Thus "24 miles of bad road" is 3 eights, etc. (This obviously doesn't work for face cards.)
